Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of food products and protecting an edible hydrophobic substance from hydrolysis and oxidation in a food product, more particularly to complex coacervates containing hydrophobic substances and to food products comprising such complex coacervates.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Certain hydrophobic substances are desirable as ingredients in food products, such as in, for example, beverages. In some cases the hydrophobic substance does not have an acceptable taste or taste profile or is not sufficiently stable in the intended food, e.g., in an acidic environment. Examples of such hydrophobic substances include omega-3 fatty acids, water-insoluble flavorants, water-insoluble vitamins, etc. Certain hydrophobic substances have been discovered to have beneficial health effects. For example, omega-3 fatty acids form an important part of the human diet. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA),...
